Lee Harvey Oswald

I think we've all become pretty desensitized to the constant slayings of both zombies and human characters on "The Walking Dead," but even seasoned veterans of gratuitous television violence likely were touched by Sunday night's episode, when two little girl characters were the fodder.

Shame on you if you're reading this without watching said episode, but just to summarize: Lizzie, who has become gradually more disturbed and perverse in her interactions with the zombies, finally goes off the deep end and kills her little sister, Mika, presumably in an effort to prove her point, to make us all "understand."
